IT is probable, says writer in the
Fopuldr Science Monthly. that when the
continents were raised from the sea, the
lake.b had been already formed,
ADD came up, therefore, brim full Of
water In the northern and eastern part
of the continent, where the supply from
rain and snow fall exceeds the loss BY
evaporation, the salt, being continuously
carried away through their outlets, has
become So diluted as to be an iIpercep-
tible quantity. In arid regions. as the
Pacific sloDe and the country about the
Caspian, where the evaporation was in
excess of the supply, the water level of
the lakes continuously sank until, on
account Of the diminished extent of sur
face, the equilibrium of loss and gain
was attained. Hence the exceeding salt
ness of Great Salt Lake, the Dead Sea,
etc. For like reason the water OF the
Mediterranean contains more salt relas
lively than that of the ocean.
Evaporation exceeding the supplies
from the rivers and rainfall, it
requires constant current through
the Strait of Gibraltar. The same is
true of the Red Sea, causing like cur
rent through the Strait of Bah ell Man
deb. Other salt or brackish lakes proba-
bly, owe their saltness to the supplies
from the land. Water being the most
general of all solvents, the rains gather
up the chloride of sodium fiom the soils
aud the disintegrating rocks. and where
the streams fall into lakes whose only
outlet is evaporation, the land itself must
be constant source of saline supply,
and their waters must become more and
more salt, until their capacity as sol>
vent has been reached. The Utah basin
must once have been filed to its brim
with ocean water The outlet has been
evaporation. The lake, receding to its
present level, has left many evidences of
its former extent.

Has Gould Been Squeezing Field >

NEW YORK, June ;9-Jay Gould has
bought $50, 900 shares of Manhattan Elevated
from Cyrus W Field at 125. This transae-
ton is taken by the street as confirmation of
the current reports that Mr.. Gould was
squeezing Mr. Field in the recent break in the
market, and has finally got him where he
wants him.
1t is said that jay Gould's check for 81,
SOC, 900 in favor of Field passed through the
Fourth National bank Tuesday. This would
indicate that the price paid for sc, 00 shares

BABY FARMING IN PITTSBuRG.
Aristocrstic Mothers Charged with Hor-
ribie Crime,


PTTTsBURG, June 90 A case of baby farm
ing in all its most horrible details, so far as
eau be Judged from facts now known. has

Der about three months ago. From that time
to the present there have been from two tosix
children IN the houee-two she claims as her
own. She kept very much to herself and no
suspicion was entertained until Thursday last,
when DR.. W F. Barclay was called in to at
tend sick child. The child was dead when
the physician arrived DIR. Barclays atten-
ton was attracted by several other pallid lit
tie ones lying about the rooms gasping in the
sitting atmosphere Mrs. Stout refused to
answer the physicians questions, as to where
the children came from.
On Sunday last Mrs. Stout again called in
the physician. Another child was beyond
his skill and died before he left the room The
health officer was notified and together with
the humane society is now investigating the
matter. Mrs, Stout admits that the children
belonged to the daughters of aristocratic
families of tins city, and said that the chill
dren's parents We're glad that they were dead
and would pay the funeral expenses. There
is another child in the house that the physician
states has been dragged and can not live
much longer. 1t is also known that baby
was removed from the house during Sunday
night, but where and 10y whom no one seems
to know

Unless the Supreme Court VIII Give 1t to
Her-An Important Decision.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 29-Secretary
Lamar, in an exceedingly long and exhaustive
decision, has declined TO certify to the treas
ury department for payment the account of
the state of Kansas for 5per cent. of the
proceeds of the sales of certain Indian lands.
The amount involved is S43, 100. In arriving
at this conclusion the secretary reviews the
legislation on the subject from the time Ala
bama was admitted into the Union in 1919,
to the present time, and cites the cases of Hi
nois and Iowa, which he claims are analogous
to the Kansas claim, and which were decided
adversely to those states by the supreme
court He concludes by asking Kansas to
take her case to the supreme court, and to ap-
ply for a mandamus, if she is not satisfied.
This decision of Secretary Lamar reverses
the uniform practice in the interior depart
ment prevalent since its formation. The de
cision is far-reaching in its character, and
will affect nearly all the other western states.
